About Giving
Whether you give $10 or $10,000, your tax-deductible contribution to the Bourns College of Engineering can be made in many ways, including:
- Move mouse over for more information.
- Outright Gifts of Cash and Securities
Contributions of cash and appreciated securities are simple to do, and provide immediate tax savings. Additionally, gifts of this kind benefit the University now.
- Charitable Remainder/Lead Trusts
A Charitable Lead/Remainder Trust can provide immediate cash gifts from the trust income to the college for a stated period of years. After that time, the appreciated assets return to you, or transfer tax-free to your heirs.
- Gifts of Personal Property
Almost any form of property, such as works of art, antiques and other personal items can be a suitable charitable gift. In many cases, the full appraised value of the property on the date of the gift will be credited to the college
- Gifts of Real Estate
The tax benefits of appreciated real estate provide you with an immediate tax deduction, and capital gains tax savings. Real Estate can be made now or through your will or living trust. Donors can also make a tax-deductible current gift of their home while continuing to live in and enjoy it for their lifetimes with a gift of retained life interest
- Gifts of Intellectual Property
Gifts of intellectual property such as copyrights, patents, royalties, licenses, and technical data are welcome. The tax and legal provisions that govern these gifts vary according to the type of property.
- Gifts by Wills or Living Wills
We welcome gifts made by will or through a revocable living trust. Gifts by bequest may result in estate tax savings and can be established to enhance an endowed fund that will honor the donor or loved one in perpetuity or to establish a named or memorial fund.
- Gifts of Life Insurance
Some of the most satisfying uses for life insurance policies are connected with charitable giving. Gifts of Life Insurance are a way to give a large gift with low cost to you, and receive the current deductions as well as possible future deductions.
- Charitable Gift Annuities
In exchange for a transfer of cash or marketable securities valued at $10,000 or more, we will guarantee to pay a specified annuity to you or other selected beneficiaries for life. In addition to your immediate charitable deduction, a portion of the annual income you receive will be a tax-free return of principal.
